Dozier Recommends Mario Moore for a webpage from Cedric Tai on Vimeo.

These webpages are courtesy of thedetroiter.com, we asked local artists who their favorite local artists were (who didn’t and may have never had their own webpage), when names popped up more than a few times, they were honored with a page. Each artist gets to choose the next artist. Mario Moore has chosen Richard Lewis.

  1. Solid work Mario. I will keep searching for your work to show my students here.
    Keep representing the positive, and the universe will keep surprising you and showering you with blessings.
    A big ALOHA for you and your circle of family and friends from Kaua’i.

  2. The picture of the beheading of John the Baptist is great. I’ve been thinking of that sort of modern interpretation of religious art for some time.

    The renaissance and baroque painters thought nothing of painting religious scenes brought into their time. Why shouldn’t we do the same?

    I’d like to see an arrest of Christ where the soldiers who arrest Him are riot- or swat-police. Or perhaps a crucifixion in a 21st century setting.

    Good work.
